Answer: closed switch

Step-by-step explanation:

Closed switch is when current is allowed to flow freely without hindrance.

That is a symbol for a closed switch meaning that current flows through the wire. If the line between the two circles wasn't connected to one of the circles, then it would be an open circuit in which current doesn't flow through the wire.
